  Hey @dani4est - yea... I imagine that was a bit of a shock. I haven't been on the bump as long as you, but have also been trying for a long time (since early 2012 we think...though could have been 2011... it's been so long we've forgotten clearly haha). But I had a moment talking about it with someone and their empathy made me step back and go woah... it has been years and nothing to show for it. So hard. I fully empathize. Big hugs. We ladies here on this board are luck to have you though.

  @dani4est I totally get how you feel.  I didn't join until a year and a half after we started trying but it's truly hard to still be here while so many others have moved on.  Hugs to you and hope that this year will be different.
